Tori & Amber
Based in Los Angeles and founded in 2007, They Roared Vintage is made up of one hippie and one model: Tori and Amber. Tori has been a vintage collector since her early years and is daily inspired by the past. Amber is a botanophile from the California mountains who finds the history and uniqueness of vintage fascinating.
We love vintage and those who wear it with us. Vintage clothing is unique and can be full of surprises. It has traveled the world. It has lived other lives and has been loved before. It demands attention and represents a time in music, film, fashion, and design when things were made well, and made with care. It’s timeless, historic, and is often so beautiful that it takes your breath away.
I'm Tori. Every time I try to cook, I burn myself. Samantha Ronson once told me I looked nice. I got married when I was 19 to the love of my life. Dancing to great music is one of my favorite things to do, and it makes me sad that one day I’ll be too old to do it. I love Twin Peaks, Jack White, movies, and wrinkly dogs. I’m in love with the 1960s. I do pretty much whatever rock ’n roll tells me to do. I am fueled by champagne and books. And I’m passionate about vintage.
I'm Amber. People tell me I look like Brooke Shields, Jackie Kennedy, Mariel Hemingway, and Paulina Porizkova. It's a strange combo, but I'll take it. Plants are really important to me. I love growing, cooking, and eating them. I'm happiest in a forest or on a mountain. Once I wrote a children's book about a slug. I love my husband, I love dressing up, and I'm falling more in love with vintage every day.
